Sky Campground is located on the western side of Mount Wittenberg at an elevation of 1025 feet. In clear weather, it has a sweeping view of Point Reyes, Drakes Bay, and the Pacific Ocean. One may access Sky Campground by foot, bicycle, or horse; not by boat, auto, or RV. The easiest and shortest approach is a 1.4-mile moderate uphill hike or bicycle ride from the Sky Trailhead (elevation 680 feet) via Sky Trail. There are 11 regular sites and one group site.
There are multiple routes to hike to the Sky Campground (elevation 1025 feet). The shortest route would be hiking approximately 1.5 miles from the Sky Trailhead (elevation 680 feet) along Limantour Road. Or one could start from the Bear Valley Trailhead, hiking approximately 2.7 miles and climbing up and a little bit over the 1,300-foot high Inverness Ridge. Regardless, campers must hike, or ride a bike or horse to get to the campground.
The moderating influence of the Pacific Ocean creates a climate with no great extremes of heat or cold. Any season can bring interesting weather during your visit to Point Reyes National Seashore. Come prepared! You can check the National Weather Service forecast for the Sky Campground at http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-122.83&lat=38.04 .
